That carb is a good match for that engine for street driving if the engine is a 383 HP. Sounds like it needs tuning or it is defective and yes each side should match from my experience. Do u have the book and an air fuel ratio meter? I ran a 700 carter original on my 383 and it was hard to keep smooth but it was awesome w its mechanical secondaries. It idled bad unless it was hot but IT WAS FAST. To save gas I put an edelbrock 650 on it and so I can choke in the morning. I was always a holly guy but wanted something simple. My edelbrock 650 rules for street but It surely isn't set for trial runs. It peels out pretty good though. What is your distributer setup? Are you on points? Your ignition need to kind of match the carb too. I would use an ignitor 2 w that avenger at least. ------Original Message------ From: Dennis C.

I think my first problem is that I have the wrong carburetor. Several years ago per Holley's recommendation I bought and installed a 670 Avenger on my 383. I am now working on getting the car on the road and per my spark plugs I am running very lean. It also had very poor performance and at part throttle at highway speed it ran rough. So far I have gone from 65 primary jets to 74 primary jets where it looked a little rich and back to 72 primary jets. I am running the secondary jets just 2 numbers higher than the primary. One of the problems I am having is that it appears that the right bank is running richer than the left bank. Is it ever necessary to have different jets from side to side or do they always need to be the same? Should I bite the bullet and buy a different carburetor? Is there any good books or information on jetting carburetors I should get, this has been interesting but the more I learn the more I am learning I don't know about carburetors and jetting. My engine is a 383 with an unknown perfomance cam that may have had some head work done on. The work was done on the engine before I bought it.
